Re: [Bacula-users] Offsite Backup
Hi Gary, thank you for your feedback. The destination server has a different directory structure. And it's not so easy to mount the directory in the same way. source: /backup/bacula/ destination: /Backup/... (should be our offsite server) Should I create a symlink? The next question. On the destination server I need to exclude the jobs to prevent errors on the director? I only need one file daemon(localhost) to restore the files from backup?

[Bacula-users] offsite backup question
Hi everyone,
I have been running nightly backups using a single pool of 19 volumes. The
schedule is for
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycle
Run = Full 1st sat at 23:05
Run = Differential 2nd-5th sat at 23:05
Run = Incremental mon-fri at 23:05
}
What i want to do is take tapes offsite once a month and what I did was to
create a new pool
Pool {
Name = Offsite_Backup
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 30 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Cleaning Prefix = LTC
}
then added 2 tapes to it and ran the jobs associated with each client
Job {
Name = ie-serv-2_backup
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = ie-serv-2-fd
FileSet = ie-serv-2 Full Set
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = PV128T
Messages = Standard
Pool = Servers_Nightly
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = /var/bacula/ie-serv-2.bsr
}
modifying the Type to Full
This seemed fine and the usual scheduled backup ran as expected
So I removed the tapes for offsite, put the other 2 back in and restarted
bacula.
Tested a backup and it keeps asking for the two offsite tapes which is alright
now as I have them on my desk but how should I be doing this?
was thinking define another job for offsite with new bootstrap but then what
about the catalog I only have one, can I create another?
All comments welcome.
regard,
John

Re: [Bacula-users] offsite backup question
Hi Berend,
I was thinking of doing it that way, a full backup for offsite followed by a
full to stay in the changer. It just seems a long way around it, a full backup
for each client takes 15 hours in total.
Thanks Kevin, but I thought I had already included that
Add the option 'recycle current volume = yes' to the offsite pool
with recycle = yes
I will run another full back locally and test a restore from local, then
restore from my offsite set.
Thanks,
John

Hey John,
I have a similar problem at the moment. The problem originates from the
fact that Bacula seems to be unable to seperate restore jobs based on
storage pools (so a system with files stored in multiple pools will
require volumes from all pools used).
As far as I know this is currently not solved - you might work around it
by making a full offsite backup followed by a full local backup: this
way both locations have a complete data set. But for my sake it is too
much work and takes too much space.
Bacula 3.0 will have Copy Jobs - a job type which copies backup jobs
between storage pools. I think that is great for getting the offsite
backups you and me want :-)

Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 30 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Cleaning Prefix = LTC
}
then added 2 tapes to it and ran the jobs associated with each client
Job {
Name = ie-serv-2_backup
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = ie-serv-2-fd
FileSet = ie-serv-2 Full Set
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = PV128T
Messages = Standard
Pool = Servers_Nightly
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = /var/bacula/ie-serv-2.bsr
}
modifying the Type to Full
This seemed fine and the usual scheduled backup ran as expected
So I removed the tapes for offsite, put the other 2 back in and
restarted bacula.
Tested a backup and it keeps asking for the two offsite tapes which is
alright now as I have them on my desk but how should I be doing this?
was thinking define another job for offsite with new bootstrap but
then what about the catalog I only have one, can I create another?
All comments welcome.

John

Re: [Bacula-users] offsite backup question
Hey John,
I have a similar problem at the moment. The problem originates from the
fact that Bacula seems to be unable to seperate restore jobs based on
storage pools (so a system with files stored in multiple pools will
require volumes from all pools used).
As far as I know this is currently not solved - you might work around it
by making a full offsite backup followed by a full local backup: this
way both locations have a complete data set. But for my sake it is too
much work and takes too much space.
Bacula 3.0 will have Copy Jobs - a job type which copies backup jobs
between storage pools. I think that is great for getting the offsite
backups you and me want :-)
Regards,
Berend Dekens

Hi everyone,
I have been running nightly backups using a single pool of 19 volumes.
The schedule is for
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycle
Run = Full 1st sat at 23:05
Run = Differential 2nd-5th sat at 23:05
Run = Incremental mon-fri at 23:05
}
What i want to do is take tapes offsite once a month and what I did
was to create a new pool
Pool {
Name = Offsite_Backup
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 30 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Cleaning Prefix = LTC
}

Job {
Name = ie-serv-2_backup

Level = Incremental
Client = ie-serv-2-fd
FileSet = ie-serv-2 Full Set
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = PV128T
Messages = Standard
